The lightest of greens
Some fragrances are created to overwhelm/overpower/overtake whoever is wearing. Like Balenciaga’s Florabotanica. Some are not. Like Balenciaga’s B. Whereas Florabotanica enters the room a minute before its wearer and keeps demanding everyone’s attention, B is the lightest of greens. Greens often tend to create a certain mood or add colour to a special situation. B is that kind of fragrance.
With only one flower note, lily of the valley, it is only slightly sweet. The sweetness becomes more expressed as the hours pass, but the brightness lies in the cedar and the orris root mixed together. Not very musky on my skin, and soy bean is not a note I detect. It is, however, a journey from fresh-green to more deep and faceted woody. So nice.
The bottle is a bit odd, especially the top. I like the weight of it in my hand. The colour of the juice is wrong. It should be the lightest green, like Jesu del Pozo’s Duende.
B is great for summertime and for any occasion where you have to be aware of other people not necessarily sharing your enthusiasm when it comes to fragrances.
